Script/Utility to configure outlook

i'm looking for a way to create the users outlook profile and configure both
SMTP/POP3 and/Or exchange settings. can someone point me in the direction of
where to go to figure this out? i'm coding in VB.Net, but can do C# or vba
(though i'd prefer vb.net)...
 
When are you looking to do this? If at Outlook installation time you can use
configuration tools. See Sue Mosher's Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003
book for information on that. For code use either Extended MAPI and the
profile information on MSDN or use the ProfMan library that comes with
Redemption (www.dimastr.com/redemption).

Microsoft uses text files with a .prf extension and a highly structured format to provide information to OUtlook that enables Outlook to create or modify a mail profile. You can create such .prf files with the Custom Installation Wizard or Custom Maintenance Wizard tools in the Office Resource Kit. Once you have a basic file appropriate for your environment, you could then use any application development platform to modify that text file. For more details, including a variety of .prf deployment methods, read the excellent white paper "Configuring Outlook Profiles by Using a PRF File" at http://office.microsoft.com/search/redir.aspx?assetid=HA011403051033&QueryID=pHm7c_60I&respos=3
